Hollow Tree


Campaign Goals

The purpose of the Louisiana Environmental Action Network (LEAN) is to foster cooperation and communication between individual citizens and corporate and government organizations in an effort to assess and mend the environmental problems in Louisiana.The United Houma Nation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization as identified by the Internal Revenue Service. The Tribe survives and thrives on financial contributions to support general daily operations as well as programmatic support. Please donate to the scholarship fund. BRYC exists because there are tens of thousands of Baton Rouge youth who want postsecondary degrees yet face tremendous barriers to attaining them and converting their education into economic opportunity. Justice looks like ensuring BRYC Fellows have the resources all young people need to viably pursue their dreams. Please donate to the scholarship fund.



Hollow Tree follows three teenagers coming of age in their sinking homeplace of Louisiana. For the first time, they notice the Mississippi River’s engineering, stumps of cypress trees, and polluting refineries. Their different perspectives—as Indigenous, white, and Angolan young women—shape their story of the climate crisis.
